The purpose of this Performance Share Award Subplan (this “Subplan”) is to set forth the terms of the Performance Awards to be awarded for the 2020-2022 Performance Period specified herein, effective as of January 1, 2020 (the “Effective Date”).
Section 2.Definitions.

(i)“Actual Grant Amount” means the number of shares of Common Stock to which a participant is entitled under a Performance Award, calculated in accordance with Section 6 of this Subplan.
(ii)“Award Amount” means the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Performance Award granted to the Participant under this Subplan at the beginning of the Performance Period.
(iii)“Award Payment Date” means the date the Committee approves the payout of Common Stock covered by an award under this Subplan to a Participant.
(iv)“Comparison Group” is the group of companies within the S&P 1500 “Materials Sector” that are classified by Standard & Poor’s as chemical companies excluding The Chemours Company and Rayonier Advanced Materials and also including Celanese Corporation, Westlake Chemical Corporation, and Huntsman Corporation. The S&P “Materials Sector” index is an index of industrial companies selected from the S&P “Super Composite 1500” Index.
(v) “Cost of Capital” reflects the Company’s cost of debt and the cost of equity, expressed as a percentage, reflecting the percentage of interest charged on debt and the percentage of expected return on equity. “Cost”, “debt”, “equity”, “interest”, “interest charged on debt”, and “return on equity” shall be determined and measured in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as applied in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the Effective Date, excluding the impact of any subsequent changes during the Performance Period in GAAP or in the manner of application of GAAP in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and including the results from any operations which are included in the Company's continuing operations as of the Effective Date and which are subsequently presented as discontinued operations during the Performance Period as a result of a divestiture.
(vi)“Earnings from Continuing Operations” shall be defined as the total sales of the Company minus the costs of all operations of any nature used to produce such sales, including taxes, plus after-tax interest associated with the Company’s capital debt (as defined in Section 2(a)(xii). “Sales”, “costs of operations”, “taxes”, and “after-tax interest associated with capital debt” shall be determined and measured in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), as applied in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the Effective Date, excluding the impact of any subsequent changes during the Performance Period in GAAP or in the manner of application of GAAP in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and including the results from any operations which are included in the Company's continuing operations as of the Effective Date and which are subsequently presented as discontinued operations during the Performance Period as a result of a divestiture.
(vii) “Maximum Deductible Amount” means the maximum amount deductible by the Company, taking into consideration the limitations under Code Section 162(m), of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any similar or successor provisions thereto.

(ix)“Performance Period” means January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

Exhibit 10.21
(x)“Performance Year” means one of the three calendar years in the Performance Period.
(xi)“Qualifying Termination” means a termination of employment when one of the following criteria has been met: combined age and years of service which equals or exceeds 75; age 55 and 10 years of service; or age 50 or greater at hire date, and 5 years of service; or age 65.
(xii)“Return on Invested Capital” shall mean the return produced by funds invested in the Company and shall be determined as Earnings from Continuing Operations, as defined in Section 2(a)(vi), divided by the Average Capital Employed. The impact on Earnings from Continuing Operations and on Average Capital Employed of one or more acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of $300 million or more and of individual acquisitions with a purchase price of greater than $100 million shall be excluded for the calendar year in which the acquisition or acquisitions occur. Average Capital Employed shall be derived by adding the Company’s capital debt plus equity at the close of the last day of the year preceding the Performance Year to the Company’s capital debt plus equity at the close of the last day of the present Performance Year, with the resulting sum being divided by two. Capital debt is defined as the sum of borrowing by the Company due within one year and long-term borrowing, as designated on the Company’s balance sheet. The resulting ratio shall be multiplied by One Hundred (100) in order to convert such to a percentage. Such percentage shall be calculated to the third place after the decimal point (i.e., xx.xxx%), and then rounded to the second place after the decimal point (i.e., xx.xx%). “Equity”, “borrowing due within one year”, and “long-term borrowing” shall be determined and measured in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), as applied in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the Effective Date, excluding the impact of any subsequent changes during the Performance Period in GAAP or in the manner of application of GAAP in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and including the results from any operations which are included in the Company's continuing operations as of the Effective Date and which are subsequently presented as discontinued operations during the Performance Period as a result of a divestiture.
(xiii)“Target Award” means, with respect to any eligible Participant, the targeted value based on the percentage of base salary specified on Exhibit A hereto for the Salary Grade applicable to such Participant.
(xiv)“TSR” means total stockholder return, as reflected by the sum of (A) change in stock price (measured as the difference between (I) the average of the closing prices of a company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, or of the last sale prices or closing prices of such stock on another national trading exchange, as applicable, in the period beginning on the tenth trading day preceding the beginning of the Performance Period and ending on the tenth trading day of the Performance Period and (II) the average of such closing or last sale prices for such stock in the period beginning on the tenth trading day preceding the end of the Performance Period and ending on the tenth trading day following the end of the Performance Period) plus (B) dividends declared, assuming reinvestment of dividends, and expressed as a percentage return on a stockholder’s hypothetical investment.
(b)Any capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Subplan shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Plan.
Section 3.Administration. This Subplan shall be administered by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee shall have authority to interpret this Subplan, to prescribe rules and regulations relating to this Subplan, and to take any other actions it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of this Subplan, and shall retain all general authority granted to it under Article 4 of the Plan. At the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall approve Actual Grant Amounts awarded to participants under this Subplan in accordance with the applicable approval and certification requirements specified in the Plan.
Section 4.Eligibility; Types of Awards. The Participants who are eligible to participate in this Subplan are those employees who, as of the Participation Date, are at Salary Grades 49 through 51 and 105 and above. Employees who are promoted during the Performance Period to a position that would meet the above criteria, but who do not hold such position as of the Participation Date, are not eligible to participate in this Subplan.
Section 5.Form of Payout of Awards. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Subplan, amounts earned in connection with the Performance Awards under this Subplan shall be paid out in the form of unrestricted shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that any fractional share of Common Stock, payable as a result of Section 9 of this Subplan or otherwise, shall be paid in cash in an amount representing the market value of such fractional share at the time of payment.

Exhibit 10.21
Section 6.Size of Awards.
(a)Target Award. Exhibit A hereto shows by Salary Grade the Target Long-Term Incentive Award as a percentage of base salary and the percentage of Performance Shares determined by Salary Grade. The Salary Grade to be used in determining the percentage of base salary for any Award Amount to a Participant under this Subplan shall be the Salary Grade applicable to the position held by the participant on the Participation Date. The actual size of the Award Amount to the Participant shall be determined by the Committee with respect to Participants who are executive officers of the Company, and by the Committee’s senior management delegates in the case of all other Participants, based on the Participant’s past performance and potential for contributions to the Company’s future long term success. Based on this assessment, the Participant may receive no award, the target award amount, or any amount within the Target Award range of ±25% converted to increments of full Shares. The Committee shall provide its delegates with guidelines for determining the cumulative award targets for Participants who are not executive officers of the Company.
(b)Actual Grant Amount. Subject to the Committee’s authority to adjust the Actual Grant Amount described in Section 12, the Actual Grant Amount awarded to the Participant at the end of the Performance Period is determined by applying a multiplier to the Participant’s Award Amount. The multiplier shall be determined by comparing Company performance relative to two measures:
(i)The Company’s TSR during the Performance Period relative to the TSRs of the companies in the Comparison Group during the Performance Period. The Company and each company in the Comparison Group shall be ranked by TSR, in descending order, with the company having the highest TSR during the Performance Period being ranked number one. The Comparison Group shall further be separated into quintiles (first 20%, second 20%, etc.) and the Company’s position, in relation to the Comparison Group, shall be expressed as a position in the applicable quintile ranking; and
(ii)The arithmetic average, for each of the Performance Years during the Performance Period, of the Company’s average Return on Invested Capital.
An award multiplier table is shown in Exhibit B. The award multiplier is based on the Company’s performance relative to its quintile ranking relative to the Comparison Group, and its average Return on Invested Capital during the Performance Period. The award multipliers range from 2.5 (i.e., 250%), if the Company’s TSR is in the top performing quintile (top 20%) of companies in the Comparison Group and the average Return on Invested Capital is greater than 10.51 percentage points, to 0.0 (with no shares of Common Stock earned by Participants under this Subplan) if the Company does not meet the specified levels of performance relative to the two measures.
Section 7.Composition of Comparison Group. A company in the Comparison Group may be dropped from the Comparison Group if a company’s common stock ceases to be publicly traded on a national stock exchange or market; or a company is a party to a significant merger, acquisition, or other reorganization. Under these, or similar, circumstances, the company or companies may be removed from the Comparison Group and may be replaced with another company or companies by Standard & Poor’s, consistent with their established criteria for selection of companies for the Comparison Group. In any case where the Comparison Group ceases to exist, or is otherwise determined to no longer be appropriate as the basis for a measure under this Subplan, the Committee may designate a replacement Comparison Group. In any such case, the Committee shall have authority to determine the appropriate method of calculating the TSR of such former and/or replacement Comparison Group, whether by complete substitution of the replacement Comparison Group (and disregard of the former Comparison Group) over the entire Performance Period or by pro rata calculations for each Comparison Group or otherwise.
Section 8.Preconditions to Payout Under Performance Awards.
(a)Continuous Employment. Except as specified in paragraph (b) below, to be eligible for payout under a Performance Award under this Subplan, a Participant must remain continuously employed with the Company or a Subsidiary at all times from the Effective Date through the Award Payment Date.

Exhibit 10.21
(b)Qualifying Termination, Death, Disability, or Termination for an Approved Reason Before the Award Payment Date. If a Participant’s employment is terminated due to a Qualifying Termination, death, disability, or any approved reason as determined by the Committee (in the case of an executive officer) or the executive officer responsible for Human Resources (in the case of non-executive officers) prior to the Award Payment Date, the Participant shall receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Subplan, a payout representing a prorated portion of the Actual Grant Amount to which such Participant otherwise would have been entitled to receive under Section 6 of this Subplan had the Participant remained in employment to the end of the Performance Period, with the precise amount of such payout to be determined by multiplying the Actual Grant Amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar months employed in the Performance Period from the award effective date through and including the effective date of such termination, and the denominator of which is 36 (the total number of months in the Performance Period).
Section 9.Manner and Timing of Award Payments.
(a)Timing of Award Payment. Except as provided in Section 9(c), if any Awards are payable under this Subplan, the payment of such Awards to Participants shall be made as soon as is administratively practicable after final approval by the Committee of such payments and within the first taxable year immediately following the end of the Performance Period.
(b)Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold or require the grantee to remit a cash amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld. Further, either the Company or the grantee may elect to satisfy the withholding requirement by having the Company withhold shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax which could be imposed on the transaction.
(c)Deferral of Award in Excess of the Maximum Deductible Amount. If payment under a Performance Award would, or could in the reasonable estimation of the Committee, result in the participant’s receiving compensation in excess of the Maximum Deductible Amount in a given year, then such portion (or all, as applicable) of the Award as would, or could in the reasonable estimation of the Committee, cause such participant to receive compensation from the Company in excess of the Maximum Deductible Amount may, at the sole discretion of the Committee, be converted into the right to receive a cash payment, which shall be paid at such time as permitted under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and applicable Treasury Regulations and guidance thereunder.
Section 10.No Rights as Stockholder. No certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issued under this Subplan, nor shall any participant have any rights as a stockholder as a result of participation in this Subplan, until the Actual Grant Amount has been determined and such participant has otherwise become entitled to an Award under the terms of the Plan and this Subplan. In particular, no participant shall have any right to vote or to receive dividends on any shares of Common Stock under this Subplan until certificates for such shares have been issued as described above.
Section 11.Application of Plan. The provisions of the Plan shall apply to this Subplan, and the provisions of this Subplan shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the terms of the Plan.
Section 12.Adjustment of Actual Grant Amount. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, adjust the Actual Grant Amount to reflect overall Company performance and business and financial conditions.
Section 13.Reimbursement of Certain Compensation Following Restatement. The Award (including any shares of Common Stock received upon payout of the Award and any amount received for the sale of such shares) is subject to the provisions of the Plan and any applicable law (including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Act, and implementing rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”)) or Company policy (including the Executive Incentive Pay Clawback Policy as adopted by the Committee on February 3, 2015 and as may be amended from time to time consistent with and to conform to SEC and NYSE rules and regulations) requiring reimbursement to the Company of certain incentive-based compensation following an accounting restatement due to material non-compliance by the Company with any financial reporting requirement or due to other events or conditions.
Section 14.Amendments. The Committee may, from time to time, amend this Subplan in any manner.
Section 15. Code Section 409A. All Performance Awards granted under this Subplan shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan concerning Code Section 409A, which provisions shall be incorporated into this Subplan by reference.

This Award Notice for the Grant of Performance Shares (this "Award Notice") by and between Eastman Chemical Company ("Company") and the Grantee named above (referred to below as "you") evidences the grant by the Company of performance shares ("Performance Shares" or the "Award") to you on the date stated above (the "Grant Date") and your acceptance of such Performance Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Eastman Chemical Company 2017 Omnibus Stock Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan") and the provisions of the 2020-2022 Performance Share Award Subplan (the "Subplan"). For purposes of this Award Notice, any references to the Plan shall include the Subplan.
The Performance Shares are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference), any rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company or the Compensation and Management Development Committee (collectively, the "Committee"), and this Award Notice. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Award Notice, the terms, conditions, and provisions of the Plan shall control, and this Award Notice shall be deemed to be modified accordingly. Capitalized terms used in this Award Notice that are not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. For purposes of this Award Notice, "Employer" means the Subsidiary that employs you, if you are not employed directly by the Company.
1.Performance Share Grant. You have been granted the number of Performance Shares specified above as the Target Award. Each Performance Share represents the right to receive a number of shares of the Company's $.01 par value Common Stock ("Common Stock") upon the attainment of specified performance conditions by the Company; provided, however, that any fractional share of Common Stock shall be paid in cash in an amount representing the market value of such fractional share at the time of payment.
2.Performance Conditions. The Performance Shares are subject to the attainment of the following performance conditions as defined in Section 6 of the Subplan and as specifically set forth in Exhibit A of this Award Notice (the "Performance Conditions"):
(a) a comparison of the total stockholder return (referred to in the Subplan as "TSR," and reflecting both the change in stock price and the amount of dividends declared) of the Company during the Performance Period, to the TSRs of the companies in the Comparison Group (the group of companies within the Standard and Poor’s “Materials Sector” that are classified as chemical companies excluding The Chemours Company and Rayonier Advanced Materials and also including Celanese Corporation, Westlake Chemical Corporation, and Huntsman Corporation. The S&P “Materials Sector” index, identified as Global Industry Classification Standard 15, is an index of industrial companies selected from the S&P “Super Composite 1500” index); and
(b) the arithmetic average for each of the Performance Years during the Performance Period of the Company’s average Return on Invested Capital.
3.Vesting of Performance Shares. Subject to Sections 7 and 8 of this Award Notice, if you remain continuously employed with your Employer, the Company or one of its Subsidiaries during the Performance Period, you shall become vested in a number of Performance Shares equal to the Target Award multiplied by the multiplier as set forth in Exhibit A of this Award Notice corresponding to the Company's achievement of the Performance Conditions ("Actual Earned Shares")

Exhibit 10.21
4.Settlement of Performance Shares. The Company shall direct its transfer agent to issue you one (1) share of Common Stock for each Actual Earned Share in your name or a nominee in book entry, or to issue one (1) or more physical stock certificates representing such shares of Common Stock in your name, as soon as administratively practicable after the end of the Performance Period and final approval by the Committee; provided, however, that if payment of the Actual Earned Shares could, in the reasonable estimation of the Committee, result in your receiving compensation, in the year of scheduled payment, in excess of the amount deductible by the Company under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or other applicable local laws, rules or regulations, then such portion (or all, as applicable) of the Actual Earned Shares as could, in the reasonable estimation of the Committee, create such excess compensation, may, at the sole discretion of the Committee, be converted into the right to receive a cash payment, which shall be paid at such time as permitted under Code Section 409A (or any successor provision which may be enacted), applicable Treasury Regulations and guidance thereunder, as specified in Section 9 of the Subplan, or as permitted under applicable local laws, rules or regulations.
If any portion of the Actual Earned Shares is converted into a right to receive a cash payment as described above, an amount representing the Fair Market Value of the deferred portion of the Actual Earned Shares will be credited to the Eastman Stock Account of the Eastman Chemical Company Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “EDCP”) and hypothetically invested in units of Common Stock. Thereafter, such amount will be treated in the same manner as other investments in the EDCP, all as specified in Section 9 of the Subplan.
5.Nontransferability of Performance Shares; Limitation on Issuance of Shares. The Performance Shares are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may not be sold, assigned, pledged or encumbered in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise. Following the Performance Period, certificates for the shares of Common Stock underlying the Actual Earned Shares may be issued during your lifetime only to you, except in the case of a permanent disability involving mental incapacity. Upon your death, any unissued shares of Common Stock underlying the Actual Earned Shares may be transferred to your legal representative as determined under applicable law, subject to the terms set forth in Section 7 of this Performance Shares Notice.
6.Limitation of Rights. You will not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Performance Shares until you become the holder of record of such shares following the determination of the Actual Earned Shares upon conclusion of the Performance Period and the issuance of such shares to you pursuant to Section 4 of this Award Notice.
7.Termination.
(a) Upon a termination of your employment with your Employer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of a Qualifying Termination (as defined below) or by reason of death or disability, or for another approved reason as determined by the Committee (in the case of the executive officers) or the executive officer responsible for Human Resources (in the case of non-executive employees), you (or your legal representative, as applicable) will receive after the end of the Performance Period, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a pro-rata portion of the Actual Earned Shares that you otherwise would have received had you remained in continuous employment with your Employer, the Company or one of its Subsidiaries during the entire Performance Period based upon the number of full months in which you were employed during the Performance Period. For purposes of this Award Notice, a “Qualifying Termination” means a termination of employment by reason of resignation or without Cause when:

• | your combined age and years of service with your Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries equals or exceeds 75;

• | you have attained age 55 and 10 years of service with your Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries;

• | you had attained age 50 or greater as of your hire date and you have attained 5 years of service with your Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries; or

• | you have attained age 65.

(b) Upon termination of employment with your Employer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for reasons other than those described in this Section 7, including for Cause, your Performance Shares shall be immediately canceled and forfeited. In such event, neither you nor any of your successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interest in such shares or otherwise in this Award. For purposes of the foregoing, “Cause” shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan.

Exhibit 10.21
8.Income Tax and Social Insurance Contributions Withholding.
(a) Regardless of any action the Company or your Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company and your Employer: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Performance Shares, including the grant of the Performance Shares, settlement or payment of the Performance Shares pursuant to the attainment of the performance objectives, and the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Performance Shares and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Performance Shares to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.
(b) Prior to the delivery of shares of Common Stock upon settlement or payment of the Performance Shares pursuant to the attainment of the performance objectives, if your country of residence (and/or your country of employment, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company shall withhold a sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the Performance Shares that have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld. In cases where the Fair Market Value of the number of whole shares of Common Stock withheld is greater than the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld, the Company shall make a cash payment to you equal to the difference as soon as administratively practicable. The cash equivalent of the shares of Common Stock withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items. Alternatively, the Company or your Employer may withhold the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the shares of Common Stock in cash from your regular salary/wages, or from any other amounts payable to you. In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of shares of Common Stock by the Company or through the withholding of cash from your regular salary/wages or any other amounts payable to you, no shares of Common Stock will be issued to you (or your estate) upon settlement or payment of the Performance Shares unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Board of Directors) have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company and your Employer determine, in their sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such Award. If you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company or your Employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. By accepting the Performance Shares, you expressly consent to the withholding of shares of Common Stock and/or the withholding of cash from your regular salary/wages or other amounts payable to you as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the Performance Shares and any shares of Common Stock delivered in payment thereof are your sole responsibility.
9.Noncompetition; Confidentiality. You will not, without the written consent of the Company, either during your employment with your Employer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or thereafter, disclose to anyone or make use of any confidential information which you have acquired during your employment relating to any of the business of your Employer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except as such disclosure or use may be required in connection with your work as an employee of the Company. During your employment with your Employer, the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, and for a period of two (2) years after the termination of such employment, you will not, either as principal, agent, consultant, employee or otherwise, engage in any work or other activity in competition with the Company in the field or fields in which you have worked for your Employer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The provisions in this Section 9 apply separately in the United States and in other countries but only to the extent that its application shall be reasonably necessary for the protection of your Employer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. You will forfeit all rights under this Award Notice to or related to the Performance Shares if, in the determination of the Committee (in the case of executive officers) or of the executive officer responsible for Human Resources (in the case of non-executive employees), you have violated any of the provisions of this Section 9, and in that event any payment or other action with respect to the Performance Shares shall be made or taken, if at all, in the sole discretion of the Committee or the executive officer responsible for Human Resources.
10.Restrictions on Issuance of Shares. If at any time the Company determines that listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock covered by an Award upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the approval of any governmental agency, is necessary or advisable prior to the delivery of any certificate for shares of Common Stock subject to the Performance Shares, no such certificate may be delivered unless and until such listing, registration, qualification or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company.
11.Change in Ownership; Change in Control. Article 14 of the Plan contains certain special provisions that will apply in the event of a Change in Ownership or Change in Control, respectively.

Exhibit 10.21
12.Adjustment of Terms. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock changes through the declaration of stock dividends or stock splits prior to the settlement of the Performance Shares, the shares of Common Stock subject to this Award automatically will be adjusted, according to the provisions of Article 15 of the Plan. In the event of any other change in the capital structure of the shares of Common Stock or other corporate events or transactions involving the Company, the Committee is authorized to make appropriate adjustments to this Award.
13.Adjustment of Actual Grant Amount. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, adjust the Actual Earned Shares to reflect overall Company performance and business and financial conditions.
14.Reimbursement of Certain Compensation Following Restatement. The Award (including any shares of Common Stock received upon payout of the Award and any amount received for the sale of such shares) is subject to the provisions of the Plan and any applicable law (including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Act, and implementing rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”)) or Company policy (including the Executive Incentive Pay Clawback Policy as adopted by the Committee on February 3, 2015 and as may be amended from time to time consistent with and to conform to SEC and NYSE rules and regulations) requiring reimbursement to the Company of certain incentive-based compensation following an accounting restatement due to material non-compliance by the Company with any financial reporting requirement or due to other events or conditions. For purposes of the foregoing, you expressly and explicitly authorize the Company to issue instructions, on your behalf, to any brokerage firm or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold your shares of Common Stock and other amounts acquired under the Plan to re-convey, transfer, or otherwise return such shares of Common Stock and/or other amounts to the Company.
15.Repatriation and Legal/Tax Compliance Requirements. If you are a resident of or employed in a country other than the United States, you agree, as a condition of the grant of the Performance Shares, to repatriate all payments attributable to the shares of Common Stock and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Award) in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different). In addition, you agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by your Employer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as may be required to allow your Employer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Finally, you agree to take any and all actions that may be required to comply with your personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different).
If you are resident or employed in a country that is a member of the European Union, the grant of the Performance Shares and this Award Notice is intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the “Age Discrimination Rules”). To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Award Notice is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.
16.No Guarantee of Employment. The grant of the Performance Shares shall not create any employment relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Further, the grant of the Performance Shares shall not confer upon you any right of continued employment with your Employer nor limit in any way the right of your Employer to terminate your employment at any time.
17.Discretionary Nature of Grant; No Vested Rights. You acknowledge and agree that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The grant of the Performance Shares under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of Awards or benefits in lieu of Awards in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of any grant, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the grant, and the vesting provisions. Any amendment, modification or termination of the Plan or the Subplan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of your employment with your Employer.
18.Currency Fluctuation. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the local currency of your country of residence and the U.S. dollar that may affect the value of the Performance Shares or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the Performance Shares or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the Performance Shares.

Exhibit 10.21
19.Termination Indemnities. Your participation in the Plan and Subplan is voluntary. The value of the Performance Shares and any other awards granted under the Plan and Subplan is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of your employment (and your employment contract, if any). Any grant under the Plan or Subplan, including the grant of the Performance Shares, is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, or retirement benefits or similar payments.
20.Data Privacy. The Company is located at 200 South Wilcox Drive, Kingsport, Tennessee 37662, U.S.A. and grants Performance Shares under the Plan to employees of the Company and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the Performance Shares under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices (“Personal Data Activities”). In accepting the grant of the Performance Shares, you expressly and explicitly consent to the Personal Data Activities as described herein.
(a)Data Collection, Processing and Usage. The Company collects, processes and uses your personal data, including your name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Performance Shares or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in your favor, which the Company receives from you or your Employer. In granting the Performance Shares under the Plan, the Company will collect your personal data for purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and usage of your personal data is your consent.
(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers your personal data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services LLC, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Stock Plan Administrator”). In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share your personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for you to receive and trade shares of Common Stock. You will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)International Data Transfers. The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. You should note that your country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of your personal data to the United States is your consent.
(d)Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Your participation in the Plan and your grant of consent is purely voluntary. You may deny or withdraw your consent at any time. If you do not consent, or if you withdraw your consent, you may be unable to participate in the Plan. This would not affect your existing employment or salary; instead, you merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(e)Data Subjects Rights. You may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in your country of residence. For example, your rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of your personal data. To receive clarification regarding your rights or to exercise your rights, you should contact your local HR manager or the Company’s Human Resources Department.
21.Private Placement. If you are a resident and/or employed outside of the United States, the grant of the Performance Shares is not intended to be a public offering of securities in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filing with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and the Performance Shares is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

Exhibit 10.21
22.Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. By participating in the Plan, you agree to comply with the Company’s policy on insider trading (to the extent that it is applicable to you). You further acknowledge that, depending on your or your broker’s country of residence or where the shares of Common Stock are listed, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws which may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock, rights to shares of Common Stock (e.g., Performance Shares) or rights linked to the value of shares of Common Stock, during such times you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in your country of employment (and country of residence, if different)). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you place before you possess inside information. Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. You understand that third parties include fellow employees. Any restriction under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and that you should therefore consult your personal advisor on this matter.
23.Electronic Delivery. The Company, in its sole discretion, may decide to deliver any documents related to the Performance Shares to you under the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
24.English Language. If you are resident outside of the United States, you acknowledge and agree that it is your express intent that the Award Notice, the Plan, the Subplan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Performance Shares, be drawn up in English. If you have received the Award Notice, the Plan or any other documents related to the Performance Shares translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the meaning of the English version shall control.
25.Addendum. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Award Notice to the contrary, the Performance Shares shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for your country of residence (and country of employment, if different), as set forth in the applicable Addendum to the Award Notice. Further, if you transfer residence and/or employment to another country reflected in an Addendum to the Award Notice, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Performance Shares, the Plan, and the Subplan (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate your transfer). Any applicable Addendum shall constitute part of the Performance Shares Notice.
26.Additional Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Performance Shares, any payment made pursuant to the Performance Shares, and your participation in the Plan, to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Performance Shares and the Plan. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring you to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
27.Governing Law. This Award Notice shall be construed, administered and governed in all respects under and by the applicable laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
28.Venue. In accepting the Performance Shares grant, you are deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of the State of Tennessee of the United States of America to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to the Performance Shares and the Award Notice.
29.Binding Effect. This Award Notice shall be binding upon the Company and you and its and your respective heirs, executors, administrators and successors.
30.Conflict. To the extent the terms of the Award Notice are inconsistent with the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control and supersede any inconsistent provision of the Award Notice.

Exhibit 10.21
31.Non-Negotiable Terms. The terms of the Award Notice are not negotiable, but you may refuse to accept the Performance Shares by notifying the Company’s executive officer responsible for Human Resources in writing; any such refusal of acceptance will immediately cancel and forfeit the award.

The Company is located at 200 South Wilcox Drive, Kingsport, Tennessee 37662, U.S.A. and grants Performance Shares under the Plan to employees of the Company and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries in its sole discretion. You should review the following information about the Company’s data processing practices.
(a)Data Collection, Processing and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, you are hereby notified that the Company collects, processes and uses certain personally-identifiable information about you for the legitimate interest of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and generally administering equity awards; specifically, including your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all options or any other awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in your favor, which the Company receives from you or your Employer. In granting the Performance Shares under the Plan, the Company will collect your personal data for purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s collection, processing, use and transfer of your personal data is necessary for the performance of the Company’s contractual obligations under the Plan and pursuant to the Company’s legitimate interest of managing and generally administering employee equity awards. Your refusal to provide personal data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. As such, by participating in the Plan, you voluntarily acknowledge the collection, processing and use of your personal data as described herein.
(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers participant data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services LLC, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Stock Plan Administrator”). In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share your data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for you to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. You will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)International Data Transfers. The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. The Company can only meet its contractual obligations to you if your personal data is transferred to the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of your personal data to the United States is to satisfy its contractual obligations to you and/or its use of the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission.
(d)Data Retention. The Company will use your personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and security laws. When the Company no longer needs your personal data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps your data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations.
(e)Data Subject Rights. You may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in your country of residence. For example, your rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Participant’s personal data.

You agree to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the shares of Common Stock are sold and the Cash Proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to you. You further agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by your Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in the PRC.
4. Administration. Your Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be liable for any costs, fees, lost interest or dividends or other losses you may incur or suffer resulting from the enforcement of the terms of this Addendum or otherwise from the operation and enforcement of the terms of the Plan, the Award Notice and the Option in accordance with PRC law including, without limitation, any applicable SAFE rules, regulations and requirements.

Exhibit 10.21

Spain

1. Securities Law Notice. The Performance Shares and the shares of Common Stock described in the Award Notice do not qualify under Spanish regulation as securities. No "offer of securities to the public," as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory. The Award Notice has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.
2. Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the Plan; No Vested Rights. By accepting the Performance Shares, you hereby consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Plan.
You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted the Performance Shares under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Affiliates on an ongoing basis. Consequently, you understand that the Performance Shares are granted on the assumption and condition that the Performance Shares and the shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the Performance Shares shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, you understand that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason the Performance Shares shall be null and void.
You understand and agree that, as a condition of the Performance Shares, unless otherwise provided in the Award Notice, any unvested Performance Shares as of the date you cease active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Common Stock or to any amount of indemnification in the event of termination of your employment. You acknowledge that you have read and specifically accept the conditions referred to in the Award Notice regarding the impact of a termination of employment on the Performance Shares.
3. Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Award Notice, “Cause” shall be defined as set forth in the Plan, regardless of whether the termination is considered a fair termination (i.e., “despido procedente”) under Spanish legislation.
BY SIGNING BELOW, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN, YOUR AWARD NOTICE AND THIS ADDENDUM.

Switzerland

1. Securities Law Notification. The grant of the Performance Shares is not considered a public offering in Switzerland; therefore, it is not subject to registration in Switzerland. Neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Performance Shares constitutes a prospectus as such term is understood pursuant to article 652a of the Swiss Code of Obligations, and neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Performance Shares may be publicly distributed nor otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland.

Exhibit 10.21

United Kingdom

1. Income Tax and Social Insurance Contribution Withholding. The following provision shall supplement Section 8 of the Award Notice:
Without limitation to Section 8 of the Award Notice, you expressly agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company, the Employer or Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). You also expressly agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any tax authority or any other relevant authority) on your behalf.
2. Exclusion of Claim. You acknowledge and agree that you will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from your ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Performance Shares, whether or not as a result of your own termination of employment (whether the termination is breach of contract or otherwise) or from the loss or diminution in value of the Performance Shares. Upon the grant of the Performance Shares, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such entitlement.
